MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2004Blank Pages Be-gone---HELP!!!
I have a mail-merge document that, after I merge, a blank page is inserted after each record. You can only see this blank page in print preview and it has a blue dashed line that connects it to the other page. I cannot select this page nor delete it. How do I get rid of it cause it messes up my printing....please help!!! The main reasons I know for mysterious blank pages are a. you use an odd page section break on an odd-numbered page or an even page section break on an even-numbered page, so Word has to insert a blank page. I think those ones show up in print preview. b. your document is set up as double-sided (e.g. mirror margins in File|Print Setup) and a section break would cause the first page of the next section to be on the left hand side - imagine you are looking at an open book - new Chapters only ever start on the right hand page. Word has this as a built-in assumption (at least for text in L-R alphabets) for new sections. I feel sure I should know but I can't help with the blue dashed line. -- Peter Jamieson - Word MVP Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org/ > I have a mail-merge document that, after I merge, a blank > page is inserted after each record.

Hi James, > You can only see this > blank page in print preview and it has a blue dashed line > that connects it to the other page. This almost sounds like something to do with "Track changes". Are you certain you have that turned off and have accepted/rejected all changes?
